No matter how much any of us know, there's always someone we can learn more
from. At the beginning of my second year as computer teacher in an
elementary school, working with all the students at the school, ages 6-12
(approximately), I was showing a piece of software called Storybook Weaver
to a Grade 2 class (6-7 yr olds); reminding them that they'd used it
briefly the year before.

I showed them what I wanted them to do and one little guy put up his hand,
saying: "Mr Z, there's an easier way to do that".

He was right. I learned a lot from the little folks!
